    Love the look of it. I never liked the look of the Nike drivers. But this one I would have tried it. Looks super love the rear weight section on the sole. Didn’t none on the OEM company’s left buy the Nike Patten’s? Bet this design would have sold well,if it worked as good as it looked. The colors looked very good. To bad it never got it never got to market.

    meh…they would have sold like all the other Nike equipment…far behind most of the other major OEM’s.

    Love it! Wish it was available. My golfing is over once my Covert 2.0 is scratched on top and RZN golf balls are all gone. I painted a Swoosh on my clubs way back when since small steel drivers. Not starting to paint other companies again. 37 years a Nike fan since little baby boots. Haven’t purchased a single Nike item since no more golf clubs. Still look at stuff but simply refuse to buy anything from them anymore.

    There were more images of other drivers, wedges, irons, putters, and limited edition colorway driver. Images were added right below this post you’re talking about in the Nike thread.

    Why live in the past? Why even discuss what would have been a useless piece of equipment?

New Level launches new 480-DB irons, blending performance and forgiveness

Published

on

New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.

The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.

For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.

While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.

A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.

 

A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.

You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.
